Winter Care of Clumps 
Especially in sections of the country where 
roots were chilled by early freezes, look roots 
over early. Trim broken necks and decayed por- 
tions. Then partially divide as recommended in 
Cultural Instructions. See “Digging and Storing 
Dahlia Clumps”. This early handling will save 
considerable stock.
